The Next President?

Apparently, if Rick Perry were to run - and he could join the race for Republican candidate as early as next week - he'd tail only Mitt Romney and would take a shitload of votes from Tea Party darling (and highly quotable and terribly misinformed) Michelle Bachmann.

As the 47th Governor of Texas, he is poised to follow in George W. Bush's footsteps on many levels on the strength of religion - he regularly organizes public prayers - and of having Texas be the state which has created the most jobs in the past couple of years... most of which are of the minimum-wage variety... or lower. Which seems kind of illegal to me, at first sight.

''Let's bring jobs back to America, at wages where Americans won't have the means to spend their pay'' seems to be his message. Oh, and ''God will save us if we do'', of course. And they think they're in trouble now...
